    You must've gotten a bad pak. I'm using the VCC emulator (thanks again 
for the suggestion all!) and Logo works fine.

    I agree that it was considered a toy by most people and thus dismissed, 
because as a kid I learned a lot about programming by using Logo. Between 
Color basic and Color Logo, I learned a hell of a lot in a short time.
    I have had the chance to talk with a few kids who are attending college 
for computer programming, and it's sad to say but many of them just don't 
have any knowledge at all before they start school; no "base" to start from. 
It really is sad because some of the most interesting things I learned as a 
kid was at the keyboard of a CoCo! I think it's *partly* do to how well the 
user manuals were written. I've looked at all the "Sam's" and "Dummies" 
books for different languages and none of them can compare with the 
simplicity of the old Radio Shack books.

*sigh*  I got off track, didn't I?  Always happens when I'm talking about 
the early 80's  hehehe :-P
